such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Company, at its election in each
case, as provided in clause (a) and clause (b) below:

          (a)  The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest
     to the Persons in whose names the Notes are registered at the close of
     business on a special record date ("Special Record Date") for the payment
     of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner.
     The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted
     Interest proposed to be paid on each Note and the date of the proposed
     payment, and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or
     any paying agent designated by the Company an amount of money equal to the
     aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest
     or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee or with any paying
     agent designated by the Company for such deposit prior to the date of the
     proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the
     benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this
     Section provided. Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date for
     the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than 15 nor
     less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less
     than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed
     payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such Special
     Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause
     notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special
     Record Date therefor to be mailed, first class postage prepaid, to each
     Holder of Notes at his address as it appears in the Debt Security Register,
     not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date. Notice of the
     proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date
     therefor having been mailed as aforesaid, such Defaulted Interest shall be
     paid to the Persons in whose names the Notes are registered on such Special
     Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following clause
     (b).

          (b)  The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest in any
     other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any
     securities exchange on which the Notes may be listed, and upon such notice
     as may be required by such

                                       5
<PAGE>

     exchange, if, after notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the
     proposed payment pursuant to this clause, such payment shall be deemed
     practicable by the Trustee.

          (c)  Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section, each Note
     delivered under this Supplemental Indenture No. 6 upon transfer of or in
     exchange for or in lieu of any other Note shall carry the rights to
     interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such
     other Note.

    SECTION 2.09.  The Place of Payment for the Notes shall be both The City of
New York, New York, and the City of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

    SECTION 2.10.  The terms and provisions contained in the form of the Notes
attached as Exhibits A and B hereto shall constitute, and are hereby expressly
made, a part of the Indenture and, to the extent applicable, the Company and the
Trustee, by their execution and delivery hereof, expressly agree to such terms
and provisions and to be bound thereby.

to be included in indentures qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (as
in effect on the date of this Supplemental Indenture No. 6) by any of the
provisions of Sections 310 to 317, inclusive, of the Trust Indenture Act of
1939, such required provisions shall control.

     (b)  In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this
Supplemental Indenture No. 6 or in the Notes issued hereunder should be invalid,
illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and
enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and therein shall

     SECTION 3.04. Whenever in this Supplemental Indenture No. 6 either of the
parties hereto is named or referred to, this shall be deemed to include the
successors or assigns of such party, and all the covenants and agreements in
this Supplemental Indenture No. 6 contained by or on behalf of the Company or by
